Ugh this article is an astonishingly offensive take. Claiming that POC on social media are “rude,” and “attention-seeking,” that The alt-right trolls are the “monster they created,” and that ISXX board members are the real victims, etc. it’s tone-policing and victim blaming.

Early English or early Medieval English is just as good and people get what that means.

I am worried about Britain, though! And it is more concerning to leave a term lying about that would be useful to fascists than something innocuous like feudalism

The term is already being used by fascists. It has been a word for white supremacy since the 19th c at least. The desperation from white scholars to hold onto this instead of acknowledging how it is harmful for BIPOC in the field in Britain and the rest of the world is a bad look
